Future for cell cams?
Posted: Fri Aug 10, 2018 4:23 pm
I guess 3G will be gone soon in favor of 4G. Any speculation yet on when?
Had a call from a bud this morning out in Idaho that uses several of my Yagi antennas. He wanted to know if they would work with 4G. 0ne antenna Is connecting a Covert cell cam to a tower 30 miles away. Will it still work with 4G??? I understand 4G will still use a 850 MHz carrier signal which will be good if true. But since they will be packing much more data on the carrier I suspect the antennas will require more rigid specs.
Another bud is about fed up with HCO Outdoors. They keep sending him 4G Spartan replacement cams that don’t work. His last one worked less than one day. That was the 3rd or 4th.
My 3G Spartan is still sending pics. It’s going on 3 years old. Used an external btry and solar panel.
I still think cell cams should be modular. Why can’t we just replace the communication module???
Like to get a discussion on this going.
